So, original sin doesnt apply to Mary? - Can you point me to the Scriptural basis for that please
Therefore, Our Lady was endowed with a superior intellect and a superior will. She had a delicate balance between her higher rational faculties and the lower passions. She, the New Eve and Ark of the New Covenant, was the singular vessel of honor in which she would enflesh the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity with a human body and a human nature by the power of the Holy Ghost. Although full of grace from the moment of her Immaculate Conception, Our Lady grew in holiness through the years as she, the Mediatrix of all graces and the co-Redemptrix of the world, surrendered herself to the will of the Father at every moment of her life.
hmmmmm - all news to me - again - the Scriptural basis for this assertion is what?
The whole Marian thing is the single biggest error of the Catholic church.
Then I guess I'd better take the Liquid Paper to that scripture that says "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."
Memo to self: Well, at least this post didn't end up with Catholics going at each other hammer and tongs! In my short time at the FR religion forum, that must be a first!
Mary is the Greatest Intecessor!!!
